Dell do cheat sometimes...
Right now, checking the Dell XPS M1210 Intel(R) from official site

E-VALUE CODE : N510654
Online Store Price
SG$ 2,018.10
Free Upgrade from 512MB Memory to 1024MB Memory

E-VALUE CODE : N510646
Online Store Price
SG$ 2,067.45

Free Upgrade from 512MB Memory to 1024MB Memory
Free Upgrade from DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive to DVD+/-RW Combination Drive

Comparing the two models, all specs are exactly the same except the DVD Combo, which costs 50.40 to upgrade if take N510654, then why is it called Free Upgrade?

Won't the same thing happen to RAM etc?

same model 2 different spec wat E-value code == different spec

same model 2 different spec wat E-value code == different spec

I did compare the specs for the two, no difference at all, except the DVD. Their adv is " Free Upgrade from DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive to DVD+/-RW Combination Drive"

You mean they giving u full refund instead one-to-one exchange?

When I opened up my Dell 9300 to clean out the inside, i followed the service manual online. Apparently you do need a flat tip to open up the hinge cover(1st step), but after that was normal unscrewing all the way. I didn't disassemble the LCD though, only vacuumed the fans and heatsink inside.

ya... cuz i was utterly dissapointed with ther services... so i insist on refund.. anyway they hv the 30 day money back policy mah..

Did you have to bargain with them, threaten them, shout at them? Did they try to tai-chi or weasel out? Or they just very willingly offer you money back?
